Thermoptek technology combines the very latest in optical sensing with a thermal enhancement – it has two separate sensing elements. The different sensing elements constantly monitor for two different by-products for fires (smoke and temperature). If a rate of temperature rise is detected the sensitivity of the smoke alarm is increased. This provides a quicker response time to all fire types; fast flaming and slow-burning fires.
According to latest BS 5839-6 standards, for maximum LD1 protection you should fit a smoke alarm in the following rooms: Hallway, Landing, Living Room, Bedroom, Airing / Meter Cupboards, Loft, Garage. A smoke alarm is not recommended for installation in a kitchen, you should install a heat alarm in kitchens.
For further guidance on BS 5836-6, please visit our Standards and Regulations Section.
No, the ST-622T is a standalone battery-powered smoke alarm with no interlink options. This unit cannot be interlinked with any other products – please see our FireAngel Specification range or our FireAngel Mains with 9V battery backup range, both of these ranges offer hardwire and wireless interlink options.
